Ministries
Kids don't grow in faith alone, neither should you
Chapel Hill's Children & Family Ministry partners with parents through every milestone, from baby dedication
to high school graduation, providing the tools, community, and biblical foundation your family needs to thrive.
Our simple approach: equip parents as the primary faith trainers while giving kids engaging, age-appropriate experiences that bring Scripture to life.

FAMILY MINISTRY MILESTONES
Each stage of your child's spiritual journey brings it's own set of exciting adventures and challenges and we want to support you through them all!
Congratulations, you have a new baby! We want to celebrate with you and equip you in your new role as a parent! Join us for Baby D where we will talk together about your role as the primary faith trainers of your children. This gathering is a 2-part series offered for all families wishing to dedicate their children. Contact the office if you are interested in participating in our next gathering.
The big change in this phase is the beginning of formal schooling. This opens new worlds for your family, and at this gathering, our goal is to begin building a community among families embarking on this journey. We will introduce you to ways to weave faith into your everyday life and help you begin passing on a spiritual legacy through our Kindergarten Bible project.
The middle years are when kids are most likely to accept Jesus as their personal savior, and this milestone gathering will help parents and kids understand concepts like salvation, baptism, and communion. Parents gather to discuss ways to guide their children, and the kids will learn these concepts through hands-on experiences.
Your kids have completed the elementary years, and this is a time of change. They will move to middle school both at school and at church. This milestone gathering is designed to help you understand the changes happening for them, inside and out. You will also have the opportunity to affirm their spiritual journey through a teen Bible project.
As your child enters high school, they will begin to have a better sense of who they are. At this gathering, parents will discuss how they can help their teen stand firm in their beliefs amid the cultural pressures they face and help them see their true identity in Christ.
This is the time of increasing independence (think driver's licenses). At this milestone gathering, we will discuss how we help our teens establish healthy boundaries that empower them to make good choices.
Throughout this year, our goal is to help your teen find the tools and perspective they need as they face adulthood. We will partner with you to help them own their faith and build a foundation they can stand on for years to come.
As adults, we invite you to engage with our church family and continue to develop your faith by learning and serving together with us in any and every way you feel God is pulling you into His mission to move this generation from culture to Kingdom.

Common questions
Yes. All childcare workers undergo training and background checks before serving with children.
All children from birth through 5th grade must be dropped off and picked up by a parent or responsible adult.
At check-in, you'll receive a numbered ticket that matches the sticker on your child. You'll present that stub at pick-up. This system also allows us to notify parents of infants or toddlers if a need arises during the service.
We serve children from birth through 5th grade on Sundays, organized into four groups: Nursery (babies), Little Sprouts (preschool), Big Sprouts (pre-kindergarten), and Elementary.
On the first Sunday of each month, all children attend the Family Service with their parents. On holiday weekends, Early Childhood classes continue while Elementary students join the main worship service.
Yes. Wednesday Night Clubs meet weekly. Families gather at 5:45 PM for a meal, then kids sign in at 6:30 PM for small group life, Bible teaching, and a review game. Each week, you'll receive a parent connection email summarizing what your child learned so you can reinforce it at home.
Milestones are structured gatherings that happen at key stages of your child's development, from baby dedication through high school graduation. They bring parents and kids together to navigate each new phase with biblical grounding and community. Participation is open to all families.
That's actually a focus of our middle-years milestone gathering. Parents and kids come together specifically to explore concepts like salvation, baptism, and communion, parents through conversation and kids through hands-on experiences.
